security#mitigations: init module

Resolves #6 by breaking out the disabling of mitigations into it's own module.
Now users must explicitly accept the risk of disabling Spectre and Meltdown
mitigations with `security.mitigations.acceptRisk` in addition to actually
disabling them with `security.mitigations.disable`.
